In that case just rewrite it. That will be more reliable in the long term. 
And you can take the opportunity to add some comments.

But you will need a specification, or know how it fits into the bigger 
picture. Those hard-coded array bounds are a bit worrying, and confusing too 
with one set of arrays having a length of 11, and an upper bound of 10, and 
another set having a length of 10, and an upper bound of 9...
